The name “Chardikala” signifies the eternal Sikh spirit of strength and optimism in the face of adversity. The mission is a call to action for all Punjabis around the world to unite as one family during this time of unprecedented hardship. The Chief Minister hopes that more Punjabis will continue to contribute generously towards rebuilding the Punjab of their dreams.
Assuring transparency and accountability, the Chief Minister stated that every penny collected will be spent judiciously for the welfare and rehabilitation of flood victims. The overwhelming response to the Chardikala Mission is a testament to the generosity and solidarity of the people of Punjab and beyond. With the support of philanthropists and organizations like the Union Bank of India, the state is one step closer to recovering from the devastating floods and rebuilding a stronger, more resilient Punjab.
